Cypressa has unveiled an exciting new range of Sharing Platters that will help shoppers to recreate Mediterranean style small plate dining at home.
Renowned for its pantry basics, including pastes and tapenades, olive oil and ancient grains, the new sharing platter range is Cypressa’s first ever chilled platter launch, and supports the brand’s mission to help shoppers discover and enjoy authentic flavours and dishes from across the Mediterranean.
Launching into Tesco in May, Cypressa’s new sharing platter range is inspired by the authentic small plates of Italy, Spain and Greece and will bring those flavours of the sun here to the UK for consumers to share and enjoy at home and outdoors over the summer months and beyond – whatever the weather!
“We are excited to be launching this new range in time for the upcoming bank holidays and to see the Cypressa name in the chilled aisle. There is a growing trend for this type of eating, with sharing and grazing platters now a popular choice for entertaining and “picky teas” a quick and tasty evening meal” comments Harry Constantinou, Commercial Controller at Cypressa.
“Our sharing platters can be used for so many different occasions, from outdoor dining, to picnics, entertaining and gatherings with friends and family. We wanted to offer a simple and convenient solution for creating your own Meze at home, without purchasing lots of different products,” adds Harry.
There are four delicious and authentic platters in the range, each including a selection of Cypressa’s ‘Foods of the Sun’:
Greek-inspired Meze Platter
“Meze” in Greece is a selection of small, tasty dishes to share. Our Meze includes Halkidiki olives stuffed with sundried tomatoes, Amfissa and Kalamata olives, soft cheese stuffed peppers, pitta crackers and a rich Kalamata tapenade.
Spanish-inspired Tapas Platter
A Spanish “Tapa” is a small appetiser or snack. Our Tapas selection celebrates the rich flavours of olives from Spain, chorizo,piquanté peppers, tomato & chilli breadsticks and creamy Iberico cheese.
Italian-inspired Antipasti Platter
Italian “Antipasti” is traditionally eaten before a meal but is perfect for sharing anytime. Here we bring together Nocellara olives, marinated slow roasted tomatoes, chargrilled artichokes with delicate Spinoro cheese & crunchy Taralli.
Mediterranean-inspired Bruschetta Kit
Bruschetta is traditionally served as an antipasto in Italy. Our kit conveniently brings together bruschetta bites, basil pesto, Kalamata olive tapenade, marinated cherry tomatoes and tomato pickled garlic relish so you can recreate the Mediterranean experience at home.
Cypressa’s platters will be available all year round from the Deli Counter within Tesco stores nationwide (RRP £7).
